Also we have posted a copy of both original and altered vold file. All you need to do is download them and replace the one. You can use something like android commander from your computer to access the files that you need and replace then reboot tablet. Google android commander and install on your computer. That will be easiest for someone not familiar with adb.

Learnt how to use adb, but for some reason it was unable to copy the file. Anyway saw this and decided to give it a go. Looks like it worked, but I still need to transfer my files back over. Super user , busybox and market were all installed and working fine before I messed up the vold file. I might try copying the modded vold file from here using Android commander before I copy my files back over, as I still need to get use of my 32gb micro sd card. Thanks for all the help

OK I'm back again. Not been able to get any further with the tablet. Basically what's happened after having a perfectly working and rooted Arnova 7 G3 I attempted to change the Vold file, but something has gone wrong with the tablet. Every time it boots it's like it is booting from new and all settings are as if from new. I replaced my edited Vold file with the one I backed up and also tried the uploaded one from here, but neither have fixed the problem. Also tried downloading the modded Vold file, but my PC keeps seeing the zip file as corrupt. I've also place copies of all my files on both the internal SD and EXTSD and still when I reboot all is set back to factory default. If there is a quick fix to the Vold problem I don't mind persuing it. If not can some tell me how I can hard reset the tablet. Thanks again, Mike. Posted a couple of photos to show state of storage ...

Not sure what to tell you as no one has ever had the problems that you have described. Any problem is usually fixed by Replacing the .vold file. Have you tried a factory/reset from within settings? If you have cwm installed, you can do a factory reset from within recovery. Make sure that es file manager still has root permission and IS replacing the vold File. As that could be the problem.

Sorry for the late reply. The SD and EXTSD have some how swopped over, but I still have the problem with internal storage or lack of it. Tried the factory reset from within settings, but has made no difference. I used Android manager to change the vold file and it seems to have worked this time, apart from my internal storage. Is there anyway of knowing what I can remove from there, maybe something that shouldn't be there anyway ?

Is there anything here to install cwm recovery. Done on my HTC no trouble, just not tried with the tablet ? Had a good idea how the memory was set up, just thought a fresh pair of eyes might spot something I hadn't. Was wondering about the dalvik cache. Thanks for the help

Thanks for all the help. Installed a custom rom from XDA for the Hyundai A7, which works great and has solved the problem, but didn't notice it has a fault with Auto-rotation not working

Well I think I've created a monster Used the stock firmware dump on here and followed ninjaduck's instructions using adb shell to restore partitions, but only got to "cat /sdcard/nandd.img > /dev/block/nandd" and couldn't get any further. I skipped to reboot and now have an AN7g3 rom mixed with the elfish rom from XDA and the Arctools hack. Fingers crossed I think all is OK, but I wont know fully till Friday night. Just done a quick check and I have all the goodies still installed from the XDA rom, Auto-Rotation is working again and I have 32gb for SDcard. Thanks again for all the help ))
